I have been using Ubuntu for about a year now and prior to that I was an big Suse fan (it still holds a soft spot in my heart). Overall I am VERY impressed with the quality of open source software. Ubuntu in particular impresses me with it's polished and professional appearance right from boot up to shutdown. However in all the time I have been using various flavours of Linux I have never been able to get sound working on either of the notebooks that I have been using durring this time.
I do not mean to be negative but I am seriously wondering. Do most Linux users simply learn to live without sound? Or live with sound that does not operate as expected? I have been searching for over a year on how to get sound working on my LG QB01A9 notebook to no avail. I even read in the ALSA changelog that support for this notebook was added (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.11_v1.0.12) yet it still does not work.
I am a website developer writing business apps in ASP.NET with MS-SQL and MySQL backends. So, while I am not exactly a kernel hacker, I am certainly not a "computer illiterate" either.
Every time I ask the question i get pointed to the same 6 URL's that deal with getting Intel HDA working and then I hear nothing more. I have *tried* this and it doesn't work. Please help me!!
I am really starting to wonder if getting sound to work is a pipe dream :-(
Best regards,
Daren Krive
